Whitenose Halfling

The Whitenose Halfling are the tallest of all Halflings and the most human in disposition. They are known for their individuality and unpredictability (even more so than humans). Often taking a sliver of arrogance when interacting with strangers, Whitenose Halflings are slow to make friends out of their neighboring races. Yet, one group of neighbors, the Majiles, have taken a liking to controlling the governments of Whitenose Halflings. These same neighbors often create a sense of humility in their subjects. That said, Whitenose Halflings are quite distrusting of their Majile rulers, but not outright disdainful. The Majiles have recently grown increasingly dependent on Whitenose Halflings as taking on the role of a peasant class in their own kingdoms.

Culture: Though Whitenose Halflings may be seen as submissive to the civic structure of their particular fiefdom, the importance of the individual is stressed quite frequently. Any leadership position holder is regarded with a certain amount of suspicion. Most Whitenose Halfling countries have a noble class (that includes Majiles) and a workforce (that includes some ogre slaves), yet the rest of the population is almost exclusively Halfling. Their name comes from the large pale nose found on most of the male population of their people. Rather than refer to themselves as Whitenoses, they call each other by their particular nationality. Whitenose trust other Halflings, respectfully distrust Majiles, and heavily distrust most other races.
